If a Greek salad became vegan, and then met a green goddess dressing on a health kick, and the two of them fell directly into a bowl of Peruvian quinoa, the result would be something like the salad I’m sharing here today. A strong quinoa …
Summer heirloom tomatoes, cucumbers, onion, tarragon and tofu in a miso vinegrete. It’s not exactly a caprese salad- it branches out from the traditional- but this vegan caprese salad is delicious enough to compete with any caprese. It’s perfect for a hot summer days when …
I get a box of veggies from a local CSA (community supported agriculture) every week, and having fresh, locally grown, seasonal produce is just heaven. Along with that heaven often comes a slight problem of too much produce, or too much of a certain type …
If you’re looking for to prepare peas in a low effort (but slightly more effort than eating them raw) and delicious dish, these sesame roasted snap peas are for you! Rich, savory, and nutty, they are surprisingly addictive and a perfect way to add the taste of Spring to your table (no matter the season).
